Radd Posted May 4, 2004 Share Posted May 4, 2004 There's a plethora of thoughts on all of this at: http://www.lucasforums.com/showthread.php?s=&threadid=126580 Personally, I like the saberstaff and the dual sabers, and I even think they should be more powerful than a single saber, if the character puts enough points into using them, if not they should be potentially less effective. Dig? Like, a standard Jedi suddenly weidling two blades might find himself off balance and awkward, while another that trained to hone his saber skills to the point he can use two, or a saberstaff with ease, would have to make sacrifices in other departments, or work harder overall. This would make both the single and multiplayer games more interesting in that respect. More balanced in multiplayer as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hiroki Posted May 5, 2004 Share Posted May 5, 2004 Yeah...the noob sticks are way out of balence in this game. The instruction book even admits its easier... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Prime Posted May 5, 2004 Share Posted May 5, 2004 I'd like to see the same number or less force powers, but a lot more ways in which those powers affect the enviroment and others. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kurgan Posted May 5, 2004 Share Posted May 5, 2004 First off if you're referring to the "Vader" game rumored to be in development, I would strongly hesitate to consider it a "Jedi Knight" (as we know them) type game. I'm more inclined to think of it as a (distant, hopefully prettier and more intelligent) cousin of Obi-Wan, but that's just a hunch. I picture a console friendly, mass-marketed third person game. This thread's sorta like JK4 speculation, but you're thinking it should be based on the new movie, eh? The trouble there is we don't know what the new movie is going to be like exactly (if you want to go into spoilers, DON'T, we already have a forum specifically for that, and it isn't here!). My personal opinion is that basing a game on a single movie usually isn't a very good formula for success if you're forced to follow it too closely, especially with the kinds of things we've come to expect in the JK series. The best Star Wars games are either based on all the movies (like the classic trilogy) or EU based (virtually the entire JK series), because they have a lot of material to draw from and some freedom to extend out into uncharted territory or fudge things for gameplay purposes without getting too many purists upset.

I know what you mean... I want to realize that the force can affect my surroundings, and can produce some freakin devasting results when used irresponsibily When more press info is released, we'll discover the makers behind the game--then we can can answer the ultimate question: Is this the next Jedi Knight, or the next: 'Oh God--Obi Wan 2'?

Obi_Kwiet Posted May 5, 2004 Share Posted May 5, 2004 ...which will be replacing the series... :-P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Master_Keralys Posted May 6, 2004 Share Posted May 6, 2004 Actually, Kurgan, the rumors have been suggesting that it will be (and this is LA itself talking) "the most definitive Jedi game ever" - and it seems to be different from the Vader game... which I honestly couldn't care less about. Hopefully it isn't Obi-wan 2... We'll see. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kurgan Posted May 6, 2004 Share Posted May 6, 2004 Interesting. I haven't been privy to these rumors myself, anybody got any online sources for this? If not, oh well. If they are calling it the "Definitive Jedi Game" does this mean it has any connection at all with the JK series (ie: an FPS with multiplayer that allows more than just saber dueling)? Or is this a completely different game purporting to be about Jedi? That's a key thing. I'll believe it when I see it... (E3 spies, you know what to do!) I'll sound cynical when I say: Remember Obi-Wan! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Obi_Kwiet Posted May 6, 2004 Share Posted May 6, 2004 It will have PS 2 Graphics, and you will have to get a game pad to play it on PC! *Me becomes sceptical of LAC after JA* Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StormHammer Posted May 6, 2004 Share Posted May 6, 2004 I'm of the same mind as Kurgan. Just because they've mentioned it's a 'Jedi' game, it doesn't necessarily follow that it's a potential sequel in the Jedi Knight series. Obi-Wan was also a game about a Jedi. Hell, even Knights Of The Old Republic fits into that definition. So at this juncture, their cryptic comments could mean anything. Besides, the Jedi Knight series has traditionally had a strong PC presence, and this new title is focused on consoles as the main development platform. If they intended it for the PC, they probably would have included PC as one of the development platforms in the announcement. I also have a hunch that this Episode III game will be more similar to the Obi-Wan game...and will probably be about Vader. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, check out the stuff over at TFN in their games section to get the information you're looking for Kurgan. It's always there first. Originally posted by StormHammer I also have a hunch that this Episode III game will be more similar to the Obi-Wan game...and will probably be about Vader. Actually, all indications are that it's separate from the Vader game that's coming forth as well. Similar to Obi-wan wouldn't surprise me, but the fact that they're calling it the "most definitive" would tend to inspire at least a little hope... Again, for a better source of information than me, check out TFN, they've got a lot of good stuff on it... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
